Editorial Review for The Duck Club – by Jim Harrington
The Scene
Located inside the elegant Stanford Park Hotel, the Duck Club draws a well-dressed mix of business travelers and local families. The quietly efficient restaurant is gracefully furbished, highlighted by a black grand piano and darkly stained wood antiques; it resembles a private dining room found in an old English countryside home.
The Food
The menu focuses on classic American cuisine, but contains a few modern and international touches, such as vegetable samosas. Start with the five-onion soup, a dark, rich mix topped with crispy onions and Gruyere cheese; or the apple and beet salad, a sweet-and-sour delight with warm Brie and tangy mustard vinaigrette. Governor Stanford's Roast Duck, a succulent piece of bird coated in syrupy tangerine demi-glace, is the house specialty. The velvety filet mignon is perfectly partnered with dense port-wine sauce. For dessert, don't miss the decadent warm brownie cake with a molten lava chocolate center.
